Elections: A period of time, in which individuals vote upon a candidate to gain a certain position.
Significant change: A change made to an investigation request, which directly addresses the reason for its denial, and is not merely a cosmetic adjustment.
Inactivity: Failure to do ones mandated legal obligations in a timely manner, as set by law.
Section I: Impeachment processing.
Article I: Henceforth, an impeachment process is to be established, this process may not be amended via executive orders, and may only be changed via approved amendments upon this very article.
Article II: The impeachment process is to work as further described.
Any individual may request an impeachment, yet it must comply with the following.
If the individual up for impeachment has already been tried for the same grounds as the new request states, it is considered null and void.
An individual may not request the impeachment of the same office or field twice within the same term. This is considered null in the case of an impeachment occurring, and a newly elected individual takes the position, resetting the count.
An individual may only request an impeachment of a member of office once every 7 calendar days. Yet, the restriction of not impeaching the same individual in office is still in effect.
(b): The Election Minister is to create an election; it shall give the options of “Aye”, “Nay”, and “Abstain”.
(c): If the Election Minister stands to be impeached, the power to create the election shall go to the President. Or if the President stands to be impeached, the power goes to the Ombudsman.
(d): This is to be done via a standard Google Form election page.
(e): This process is to be done in 24 hours, and the Ombudsman must have access to all votes done to ensure proper process
(f): Voter codes are necessary, the Election Minister is to mandate them.
(g): The results of the election must be constantly public, allowing any member or individual to see them without effort.
Article III: Once the election concludes, if Aye wins, by holding more than 70% of the total votes (abstains considered null and void) rounded up to a whole number in the case of an unclear number (a decimal), and no election fraud is found, that seated member is to be impeached, and a special election to replace them must occur.
Article IV: If later investigation reveals election fraud occurred within this, the investigation shall occur, all guaranteed invalid votes shall be removed, and the results shall go based on that information.
Article V: Once 24 hours have passed, the process is considered over, and must be announced.
Section II: Inactivity.
Article I: If a council member fails to successfully vote for 7 calendar days in a row, they are hereby considered impeached.
Article II: If a President has an absence for more than 7 calendar days, they are considered impeached.
Article III: If a Vice President is absent for more than 7 calendar days, they are considered impeached.
Article IV: If an Ombudsman fails to successfully begin 5 investigations in a row, without fulfilling exceptions, they are considered impeached.
Exceptions are to be the following.
The investigation would investigate a party or coalition, whose size scales to an amount larger than 3 members.
The investigation would violate religious or moral standpoints of the acting Ombudsman.
The investigation would expose the Ombudsman to mental or physical harm or danger.
The investigation targets individuals outside of Teen Government.
The investigation would violate Teen Government law.
The investigation violates real-life law.
The investigation would investigate an individual's personal information.
The investigation does not specify the crime or violation given.Another piece of legislation grants an exception within its text.
All previously stated exceptions may be used on any investigation request, yet must be given to the acting Vice President for approval or denial.
Once given to the Vice President, they are to decide whether to allow the exception or not. Once the Vice President does their decision, if they decide to reject the investigation request, the request is considered null and does not need to be investigated.
If the Vice President decides to approve the investigation, it must be done; the Ombudsman is legally allowed to appeal this once more, appealing to council.
Under the circumstance the Vice President doesn't respond within 48 hours for the appeal, it is immediately given to the council.
Council may vote on whether to sustain the judgement of the Vice President, in which the Ombudsman would be required to investigate, or to deny the investigation request, considering it null and void, and the Ombudsman is under no requirement to investigate that request.
Under the scenario, either the Council or the Vice President denies the investigation request, any resubmission of the request is considered null and void, and does not need to be investigated, this is unless the request is significantly changed to accommodate the rules and requirements previously stated.
Article V: If a Minister fails to do their duties for 2 calendar days,, they are considered impeached. The time this begins is the moment the duty is needed to begin. (i.e: The Census is set to begin, the Census Minister is unavailable for 2 calendar days, hence the Census is delayed. The Minister is considered impeached.)
Section III: Differing impeachment.
Article I: This shall introduce four versions of impeachment.
(a): Impeachment via trial, in which an impeachment was taken to Council, and an impeachment was voted upon.
(b): Impeachment via inactivity, done if a member of the set position falls under the conditions outlined within Section II of this document.
(c): Dishonorable impeachment, done if a member, who was impeached via trial, was impeached for corruption or malpractice.
(d): Impeachment under law, impeachment done via other legislation or law, in which an impeached member falls under. This excludes the law of this document.
Section IV: Handling of past behavior.
Article I: This document shan’t affect previous activity nor may it impeach an individual who violated this document in the past.
Article II: This document shan’t affect previous behavior, and all previous violations, done before the creation of this law, are null and void.
Section V: Actions done against those who violate this law.
Article I: Any individual who’s properly impeached is to lose the right to run in the following months elections, this restriction is lifted the month following the restricted month
Article II: Article I is not to occur under the circumstance the individual was serving a ban from Reddit during the time period.
This does not extend towards bans done via Teen Government judicial action, instead only in relation to bans due to Reddit moderation. (Not TG Reddit Moderation, official moderation instead)
Section VI: Initiation.
Article I: It is to be the Ombudsman duty to call out inactivity, fulfilling the terms met in Section II.
Article II: If the Ombudsman is the one under inactivity, or the Ombudsman fails to report it, the duty falls under the President.
Article III: If the President is under inactivity, or fails to report it, as well as the Ombudsman being inactive and failing to report it, the duty falls to the Vice President.
Article IV: If none of the previously stated members report the inactivity, then any individual is legally allowed to report it.
Article V: If inactivity is not successfully reported by any individual, then whenever discovery of it is made, the individual which should have been impeached, is considered impeached.
Yet, if this finding is made post the ending of their term, the individual is to be barred from serving in the next subsequent election season. This is only occurs in the month following the inactivity, if findings are done later on then this is void.
If an individual has already begun a subsequent term post inactivity during the time of discovery, the individual is to be immediately impeached from office
An individual who was reported for inactivity is to be incapable of running in any special elections within the month they are barred from office.
